-Welcome to the Slackware Live Edition! This is a version of Slackware-current (soon to become 14.2), that can be run from a DVD or a USB stick. It is an ISO image meant to be a showcase of what Slackware is about. You get the default install, no custom packages or kernel, but with all the power.

Slackware Live Edition does not have to be installed to a computer hard drive (however you do have that choice if you want to: using the setup2hd script). You can carry the USB stick version with you in your pocket. You'll have a pre-configured Slackware OS up & running in a minute wherever you can get your hands on a computer with a USB port.

==== Creating a Live ISO from scratch ====
-Creating an ISO image of Slackware Live Edition requires that you are running Slackware 14.2 (64-bit). Older releases of Slackware have a kernel that is too old to support liveslak's use of the "overlayfs" kernel functionality, and are lacking the squashfs tools. Likewise, a Slackware Live Edition can only be created for Slackware 14.2 or newer.
